Breaking Point

By Lord Kalgalath

I wrote this while I was trying to run the house, while my father was out on detachment, and I was feeling quite inadequate to the task, so before anyone rips me for the content.. yeah, I know its kinda self indulgent and blech.
Thanks for reading my work =D

Sometimes I reach a point where I feel I can't take it anymore.

I feel the pressure of life on every inch of me, crushing me.

Unbearable, inescapable, bearing me down til I must kneel

And sometimes a friend will make it better, make the worlds care dissappear

Sometimes an "I Love You" from one I care for sends my fears fleeing

But sometimes it doesn't, It builds and it builds until I feel I MUST yeild

But to who?

Sometimes I long for oblivion, sometimes I seek pain.

But no matter what i seek for allevation of my discontent, It is never enough

So I continue plodding on mindlessly, hearing the cold, empty comfort of

It'll get better...

But somehow it never does.

Not for very long.

    You can't help feelings like this when you're under pressure like that. It doesn't hurt to express it and we all love when you express it
